Better Internet for Kids

At the event, digital literacy, online safety and digital citizenship were promoted in a playful way, and a gamified environment stimulated critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

This leaflet provides practical guidance for teachers and educators on how to recognise, prevent, and respond to cyberbullying in school communities. 

It outlines the warning signs, the impact on students’ well-being, and clear steps for a safe and effective intervention.

The material also promotes a culture of respect, digital responsibility, and open communication, helping teachers and educators create a safer and more supportive learning environment.

In the video, you will learn what cyberbullying is, what forms it can take and how to recognise it. 

The video also explains why it is important to behave properly online, how to protect your privacy, and how to respond if you become the target of online abuse or attacks. 

The goal of the video is to educate and warn young people about the risks of digital communication, so that viewers learn to use social networks and the internet in general more safely.

 

Distinguishing truth from falsehood in the digital age is more challenging than ever.

Nowadays, disinformation can spread fast. Social networks and messaging platforms enable the large-scale sharing of false information, often automated and supported by artificial intelligence (AI), making it appear surprisingly authentic. But how can we tell what is true from what is false?

Many parents and caregivers use social media themselves, for example to share important or fun moments from their lives – and of course, that involves their children. However, it is important to always keep your child’s privacy in mind when sharing information on the internet.

This leaflet offers practical advice for parents and caregivers on how to recognise, prevent, and respond to cyberbullying. 

It explains common warning signs, the emotional impact on children, and clear steps parents can take to provide support and protection. 

The guide also encourages open communication, digital awareness, and collaboration with schools and support services to ensure children’s safety online.

This publication highlights the opportunities offered by online booking as well as the common issues associated with it. 

It includes tips and recommendations to help you identify potential risks inherent in the process, and to book your trips and stays more cautiously. You will also find information on how to react quickly in case of a problem.

This is a presentation for teenagers and adults that explores how violence manifests itself in the digital environment.

The presentation focuses on the different ways harmful behaviours appear online and how they affect individuals, relationships, and communities. Special emphasis is placed on: cyberbullying, hate speech, online harassment, and online sexual exploitation and sextortion. 

This video course will guide teachers and educators through the key aspects of children's rights in the online environment. As a teacher or educator, you will be introduced to how to understand children's digital rights, how to reflect them in your teaching, and how to safely integrate them into school lessons and school projects.

On Tuesday 10 February 2026, as part of the Safer Internet Day global celebrations throughout the month of February, the European Commission (EC) adopted the EU Action plan against cyberbullying, aiming to give children, parents, carers and educators the tools they need to report and combat cyberbullying.
